Subject: [PATCH v4 24/26] mm: add arch hook to validate mmap() prot flags

Add a hook to permit architectures to perform validation on the prot
flags passed to mmap(), like arch_validate_prot() does for mprotect().
This will be used by arm64 to reject PROT_WRITE+PROT_EXEC mappings on
configurations that run with WXN enabled.
